It takes a good sense of self to admit that we're not getting any younger. The world takes its toll on our bodies, minds, and occasionally fitness. We can't run as fast as we used to, and usually don't look as good as we used to. Our style has changed, and what was once fashionable is now dated and embarrassing to be seen wearing in public. There …

The Goodwood Hillclimb course up the Duke of Richmond's driveway is 1.86 kilometers (1.16 miles) long. A blazing fast run up the hill takes about 50 seconds, and includes nine corners and a number of hazards for the racers. One of the straights is stone lined, a far cry from nice, soft Armco. While a fast car can make short work of the hill, could …

Porsche has been building cars longer than most people reading this have been alive. For seven decades they've been tearing up their own script and occasionally re-writing it wholesale. People complained when 356 production ended in favor of the heavier and more expensive 911. People complained when the 964 debuted because it had coil springs of …

What started as an idea quickly turned to reality when artist Nic Hunziker located a donor GT3 for his "Art Car" project. Over the last 9 days Nic, along with co-pilot and FLATSIXES.com contributor Brett Sloan, drove the newly acquired 996 GT3 from Nova Scotia back to L.A. Along the way they covered:
9 Days
4856.6 Miles

If you're not yet familiar with the project you can check out our original post or head over to the project's website for even …

With artists ranging from Andy Warhol to Sandro Chia and Jeff Koons having painted or designed cars for BMW, it's likely they are the most famous car marque known for art cars. However, Porsche is no stranger to them either. Officially, Porsche put a toe in the water of art cars with their exhibition of 24 painted GT2 bonnets at their Museum in …

To Jethro Bovingdon, yes. Yes it is. He already established that he loves the 911 GT3 on track, and now on the road, the story seems much the same. In the rain, mist, and greasy conditions often suffered by English journalists, the GT3 shone. How then does it compare to the instant-classic 911R? Does the ostensibly more focused GT3 give the …

I have good news, and I have bad news. Fortunately the good news is very good, and the bad news is really not all that bad. The bad news: Porsche didn't launch a single unique new model at the New York International Auto Show(NYIAS). All four models are cars we knew about from prior shows and releases. The good news is that all of these models are …

UPDATE: It's official! The leaked press release mentioned below was the real deal so all information posted is accurate.
